The Chinese government are in no uncertain terms the bad guys lately. I'm getting exhausted of hearing people make excuses for them because they hate trump or watch basketball or something.
The Chinese government are most definitely bad guys, which is another reason to hate Trump. He's more than happy to sell out Hong Kong and Taiwan, he just wants concessions on tariffs which is the least important issue, and even there he's blown every bit of leverage the US had by putting the same tarriffs on the EU and Latin America indiscriminately, not to mention pulling out of TPP just because Obama helped create it.
To clarify further: the problem with China is NOT that they're getting stronger, that they're competitive economically, or that they have good tech. Those are all good things. The problem is the government and especially the police are authoritarian dickholes; in other words another variant on Trumpism.
@Gmork: I was stunned by how little coverage the Chinese concentration camps got when they were first reported. The fact that the coverage has dropped to zero is even more concerning.
I wish I still had friends in Europe; I'm curious if their media has been equally delinquent.
Yeah, I'm curious why they hauled him in, and what they were trying to accomplish with that browbeating.
Was it just the equivalent of a Southern cop being a low level dick to a suspect & calling him "boy"? Or was it something that could have turned much more violent, like when a Southern cop calls a black suspect "boy"?
They found out he talked bad about the police, went his house, arrested him, brought him to the police station and interrogated him...all without shooting him, even once!
Time to send some American cops over their to train the Chinese how to police properly.
